Editor roles can’t edit pages

    I run a student media site for a university. Students need to both post stories and edit/create pages. I’ve given them all “editor” roles, which, according to the documentation, should allow them to edit pages. However, none of them are seeing the “pages” link on the dashboard unless I give them full “administrative” roles.

    Indeed an editor should be able to _edit_ own or others pages, as outlined in the DOC.

    Thus I suspect some other plugin, or perhaps your theme, is causing the issue.
    You should try to switch the theme from whichever you use to a standard theme (perhaps TwentyTwenty), and if that does not resolve the issue, also disable your plugins until the issue goes away – at which point you can spot the culprit plugin by re-enabling them one by one until the issue appears again.

    Please either perform a full backup of your site prior to doing these steps or perform them on a staging site (preferred), so you do not accidentally lose some data, settings or else.
